Jay Losagio, Owner of the Rita’s Italian Ice & Custard of Hellertown, said, “I currently reside in Lower Nazareth, PA with my wife, Edith Losagio, 6.5-month-old Son, Samuel Losagio and three dogs, Bing, Luigi, and Bella. A fun fact though is that back in the early 90’s and from 2010-2012, I lived in Hellertown, PA. So, it is great to be back in town again! I look forward to being actively involved in the Hellertown community. I am also eager to meet new faces while seeing familiar ones too. Thank you, Hellertown, for having me. My Rita’s team and I look forward to serving you in the 2022 season and beyond!”

Kim Rosario, Chair of the Hellertown-Lower Saucon Chamber Board, commented, “A huge congratulations to Jay Losagio and his team! We are thrilled to welcome them to the Hellertown-Lower Saucon community and celebrate the Grand Reopening of the Rita’s of Hellertown. We look forward to your success and enjoying a Gelati on a hot summer’s day!”
